Displaced comminuted fracture of shaft of unspecified tibia, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing Save
ICD-10 code: S82.253E
Disease category: S82.253: Displaced comminuted fracture of shaft of unspecified tibia
Understanding Displaced Comminuted Fracture of the Shaft of Unspecified Tibia
A displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of the unspecified tibia refers to a severe injury to the lower leg bone that results in fragmentation of the bone and its displacement from its original position. This type of fracture is often caused by high impact trauma, such as a car accident, fall from a height, or a sports injury.
When the fracture occurs, it can be classified into different types, including open or closed, displaced or non-displaced, and comminuted or non-comminuted. In the case of a displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of the unspecified tibia, the fracture will be fragmented and displaced from its original position.
Subsequent Encounter for Open Fracture Type I or II with Routine Healing
After the initial treatment of a displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of the unspecified tibia, a subsequent encounter may be necessary for open fracture type I or II with routine healing. This means that the open wound that occurred during the initial injury has healed, and the fracture is healing as expected.
During this subsequent encounter, the patient will undergo a physical examination to assess the healing progress of the fracture. The doctor may also order imaging tests, such as an X-ray or MRI, to evaluate the bone's healing and ensure that there are no complications.
Conclusion
A displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of the unspecified tibia is a severe injury that requires immediate medical attention. While the initial treatment may involve surgery and immobilization of the leg, subsequent encounters may be necessary to ensure that the bone is healing correctly. With proper treatment and care, patients can recover from this type of injury and regain their mobility and quality of life.

Treatment Options for Displaced Comminuted Fracture of Shaft of Unspecified Tibia
Displaced comminuted fractures of the shaft of the tibia are serious injuries that require prompt medical attention. These fractures occur when the bone is broken into several pieces and the broken ends are out of place. The severity of the fracture can vary depending on the extent of the damage.
